Description
The Cedars is a house with a garden wall adjoining it, dating from the 17th century. The original timber-framed core has been extended and encased in early 19th-century white brick, giving it an L-shaped form. The building has two storeys and features black glazed pantiled roofs. The main range is positioned sideways to the road and includes an internal chimney stack with a plain red brick shaft, as well as an end stack made of white brick. It has various small-paned sash windows with arched heads and flush frames, along with recessed doors on each range that have six flush panels.
The wing that extends northward has a shallow-pitched roof and 19th-century crow-stepping on the north gable end. The south, or garden front, which dates to around 1840, features small-paned sash windows and recessed double doors with flush panels set within a rectangular frame that has reeded half-columns as part of the architrave. The basic layout of the house appears to follow a three-cell lobby-entrance plan, with the entrance located on the garden side in its original position.
Adjoining the southeast corner of the house is a long stretch of high garden wall that runs along the road frontage. This wall begins with a short section in white brick, followed by eight bays made of kidney flint with white brick cappings and flush piers.
